Abstract
Description
Technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of bioengineering, relates to the construction of a fumaric acid-producing recombinant strain, and also relates to a method for fermentative production of fumaric acid by using the strain. Background technique
[0002] Fumaric acid (also known as fumaric acid), as an important four-carbon platform compound, has a wide range of uses in the pharmaceutical, food, and surfactant industries. It can be used to produce L-day through enzyme-catalyzed conversion, esterification, and hydrogenation. Four-carbon compounds such as aspartic acid, malic acid, succinic acid, maleic acid, 1,4-butanediol, γ-butyrolactone and tetrahydrofuran. At present, fumaric acid is mainly produced through the isomerization of maleic anhydride and furfural oxidation. Due to the high cost and environmental pollution of chemical synthesis of fumaric acid, the wide application of fumaric acid as a basic chemical raw material is restricted. [0003...
